10% OFF SALE for 24 Hours

I couldn't be more excited to announce my first 100 sales and 98 follwers on TpT! I was going to wait until I had 100 of each but I couldn't contain my excitement and wanted to pass on my appreciation to EVERYONE who has supported me and especially those who have given feedback! :)

I am offering a 10% off all my items for 24 hours!

Holidays & 88 NEW Coordinate Tasks!

My goodness. I cannot believe how buuuussssssyyyyyyy the first week of our Spring Holidays have been! 

I've been blessed to have Max (my beautiful step-son) here for the first week and we did a lot of physical building, gardening, adding a retaining wall to the garden, beginning to build a gazebo, sand-pit playing with cousins & friends and swimming :) Now he has gone back to his Mums, the place seems very empty in comparison! I always look forward to his return in 2 weeks time (but only for two days :( )

I've been working on this set of 88 Coordinate Rotation Tasks for several weeks now and have finally completed it after Powerpoint error after Powerpoint error! I realized that the file size was too large and it kept corrupting itself, so I saved each of the graphs as a .jpeg and inserted them and bazziingggaaa it worked again!

Set 1 - Identifying Coordinates - 32 Cards over 4 Levels
Set 2 - Plotting Coordinates - 20 Cards over 4 Levels
Set 3 - Plotting Shapes - 12 Cards over 4 Levels
Set 4 - Reflections - 12 Cards over 4 Levels
Set 5 - Translations - 12 Cards over 4 Levels

So here lies my newest item which I cannot wait to use and I'm so very proud of! 20% off for the first few days or so! :)

10% Off Sale for 2 days!

I only just noticed I've sold over 50 items and its time for my Sale again! This falls in conjunction with the end of September sale I wanted to have.

So 10% off storewide (EVEN on currently reduced items) until September ends :)

Seal KISS & 5 days left...

Talk about exhausted! There are 5 school days left of this term and after completing 124 different report cards for Maths this weekend, Max's (step-son) swimming club night, Saturday squad & Little Athletics, I've finished it off with my husband and Max at Underwater World. I even managed a seal kiss - It was amazing. The 1.5 hour drive each way was completely worth it :)



My Seal Kiss



I've blogged before about how I've organised my Math Center and I must say it has been working extremely well. Both my year 8 classes have an A3 laminated page with all the current Math Center activities listed at the top of the columns. My activities that contain two or more levels, I have split then into different activity levels as you can see on my chart.

Even my year 8's (12-14 year olds) love coming to show me their working out, solutions and their honesty when they mark their work and have made an error in their calculations. I have had some time to take a photo and the below picture shows my year 8's beginning to play my Pirate Percentage & Fraction Dominoes game.



Pirate Percentage & Fraction Dominoes

It's so great to see them working together to solve Mathematics problems and having Mathematical arguments as to who is right and who is wrong, then calling me over to "end" it!



I always wonder what other type of theme parks like UnderwaterWorld there are around the world!? Is that what they are called still - a theme park even if it's animals!?

Favourite Fraction Game & my upcoming SALE!

This year especially, I've found my year 8 and 9 students don't have the understanding of fractions that they should! Considering they should have this understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages at a year 5/6 level, it's SCARRY!

One of the more engaging ways I check for student understanding is to use my Jumping Fractions 5 Ways game throughout relevant units and as a general review throughout the term.

The reason I check for understanding this way is that all students can match the visual representation with the fraction. Then from there the language and it becomes either the percentage, decimal OR simplified fraction that they struggle with.

To ensure this game covers the various learning abilities, I split it into four sets.

• Set 1 - 83 cards - Match tenths fractions in all representations
• Set 2 - 31 cards - Match fifths fractions in all representations
• Set 3 - 25 cards – Match quarters fractions in all representations
• Set 4 - 9 cards – Additional simplified fraction cards to add to each level.
 

I have 4 more TpT items to sell until I reach my 20 sales and another FLASH % off SALE! :) What % discount would you like to see 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% OR would you like to see 35% off four items - If so, you can choose which ones! :) The most popular response will be it, so get in soon! :)

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and purchased some of my items! If you have any requests or theme suggestions you'd like to see, please let me know!!
